Why do they claim to march for freedom?  This will be an anti-freedom march. Antiabortionist want to take away a woman’s right to choose. Period.

Let’s not confuse civil rights with loss of rights.  These people are not in danger.  What do they risk?  They already have the right not to get an abortion.  What “freedom” are they marching for?

The African American struggle for equality should not be marred by an underhanded attempt to infringe on individual freedoms.

Do I have issues with abortion?  Yes.  But abstinence only education has failed.  Why not let schools teach real sex education, which includes pregnancy, and disease prevention.   We must provide condoms for teens and teach the importance of using them.  These practices will lower the abortion rate.  It’s not a Christian answer, but it’s the best one.

Unfortunately anti abortion laws will not stop abortions.  It will just make them illegal, expensive and dangerous.

A freedom march is for providing freedoms and equality, not to take them away.
